Sanders To Acosta: “I Know It’s Hard For You To Understand Even Short Sentences”

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders got into a standoff with CNN’s Jim Acosta over comments made by Attorney General Jeff Sessions in which he referred to a verse from the Bible while seeking to explain immigrant children being split up from their parents.

Mr Acosta tried to get Sanders to react on this when she slammed him to the canvas in return.

Whilst Ms Sanders at first tried to get out of the spat by stating she didn’t know what Mr Sessions had exactly said, she did at “that it is very biblical to enforce the law.”

“That is actually repeated a number of times throughout the Bible.”

At this point, however, Mr Acosta cuts in and states: “where in the Bible does it say it’s okay to take children away from their parents?”

Ms Sanders again states that she has not been informed of Mr Sessions’ “specific comments that I haven’t seen,” to which the CNN reporter answers: “Well you just said it’s in the Bible to follow the law.”

At this point, Ms Sanders decides to slam into him and states, to laughter from the audience: “That’s not what I said. I know it’s hard for you to understand even short sentences, I guess, but please don’t take my words out of context.”
